Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-012
warns of vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office that could potentially allow an attacker to gain complete control
over an affected machine if a user is logged on with administrative user rights. An attacker could then view, change or delete data,
execute code on the machine, create new user accounts with full privileges etc.

Adobe Security Bulletin APSB06-03 reports vulnerabilities, also discussed in a
Microsoft Security Advisory
[KB916208], that could potentially
allow an attacker to gain complete control of an affected system. These vulnerabilities could be exploited by planting
a malicious SWF file on a webpage that would then be loaded into the browser's Flash Player.

Users are advised to patch their systems against these vulnerabilities immediately. Patches can be downloaded via
links posted within the appropriate Security Bulletins and by visiting
Microsoft Update.

Important: We recommend that users patch their systems by downloading and installing critical
Microsoft updates
as soon as possible.

Users are also encouraged to update their antivirus software daily and to install a
firewall on their computers, if they have not done so already. For more information
on firewalls, please read Microsoft's
tutorial on
how to protect your PC.
